Patient's question:
Why do people vomit during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Guidance: Nausea and vomiting are common early pregnancy symptoms, which may be related to the increase in human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the body during pregnancy, a decrease in gastric acid secretion, and prolonged gastric emptying time. Most women experience this around six weeks after their last menstrual period, and it usually resolves on its own by the twelfth week of pregnancy. The occurrence of pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a vaginal examination to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
